You presented key historical events and considered the ways in which they shaped the profession of school counseling today. For this assignment, you will write a short paper that considers a single, specific event involving national policy, societal concerns, or safety issues that have occurred within the past five years. For example, while cyberbulllying is an emerging, evolving issue school counselors address, it would be too broad for this assignment. Instead, you would want to identify a specific incident or event in which cyberbullying directly impacted a school or student.
In this paper you must clearly articulate the following:
• Describe the event in detail and specifically address how you see that event shaping the discussion of school counseling learners 10 years from now.
• Analyze the ways in which the event will impact the practices of the school counseling profession (such as populations with which we work, emphasis of our work, opportunities for collaboration and consultation, et cetera).
• Support your position with relevant examples.
